Apart from writing drone pieces of his own, Mystified, known to some as Thomas Park, has a weakness for deconstructing works he likes and turning them to something new. Thus it comes with little surprise that for his first album on Petcord he picked up several sounds he had borrowed from Celer's Dying Star CD from 2008 (of course with their permission) and created an epic drone piece of it. Dying Star Remix transfers the image of a life in seclusion and there is a lot of tension building up during the first minutes until the piece finally unfolds its entire variety of timbres. I would not be too surprised if Mystified's interpretation of Dying Star wound up as a soundtrack to some kind of space odyssey involving the struggle of surviving in the violent universe that surrounds us.
